Crowds turn out as spring market season opens in Kindersley

Although spring weather has been unpredictable, the season of markets and garage sales has officially begun in Kindersley. Neither gale-force winds, snow, sleet nor rain keeps patrons from attending their favourite events in Saskatchewan.

A crowd gathered early Saturday morning when the doors opened at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Volunteers served a pancake breakfast at their annual spring fundraiser in the church hall. Baking, garage sale items, clothing, books, mini raffles, and pie and coffee were available until 11:30 a.m.

The momentum continued into the afternoon at Caleb Village’s Spring Trade Show, where visitors and residents browsed tables of products from numerous home-based businesses.
